Hey r/verypopularauthor, I really don't like Very Popular Author, is Very Popular Author actually any good?
Yeah we like them, that's why we have this sub Reddit.
These posts are so common they eclipse genuine discussion of the sub's topic some days.
Very minor question but in Anna Karenina much of the novel is about people travelling between Moscow and St Petersburg, just curious what that journey would be like in the 19th century, anyone know?
edit: to avoid confusion, I am mainly asking about how long the journey would have been

They could never know just how approachable I am.

Hello, I've just been getting started with Quibble and hope you can help me with a technical question.
​
I understand that part of the concept is you can publish works in progress and serials.
​
If one were to submit a work in progress, should the approximate word count be for what is already completed or the expected length at the point of completion?
​
Furthermore, outside of the concept of serialised chapter posts, is there much benefit to posting a work in progress or is it better to wait until the manuscript is finished?
Perhaps the best quality of The Brothers Karamazov is it's characters, every last one of them is fascinating and relatable, but for me the most impactful was Elder Zosima.
A pretty common question people have before reading BK is, if they are an atheist, will they get anything out of it.
As an atheist/agnostic person, Elder Zosima to me is perhaps the greatest piece of communication of the merits of faith and even the specific faith of the character and author (Orthodox Christianity).
I would go so far as to say that after book 6, I feel so much closer to understanding what a powerful and beautiful thing religion can be, even if you struggle with the literal belief in scripture.
I can expand on specifics if anyone is interested but I'm curious if any other secular readers felt genuinely moved by the way Zosima talks about Christianity.
